Jon Perry Bohemian Hideaway Acrylic 30 x 24 $800

"My wife, Mary, and I were in Prague, Czech Republic, the center of Bohemia, staying at a hotel within the walls of the Strahov Monastery. We discovered a very small strudel restaurant just outside the wall where busloads of tourists were streaming by. We carried our strudels up a narrow winding staircase to the second floor. There we were struck by the cozy atmosphere reflected in this painting. Afternoon sunlight streamed into the dimly lit space onto the dark table, illuminating a lacy flower arrangement. It felt to us like an oasis, a place of refuge and peace amid the crush of tourists. Mary captured this impression in a photograph on which the painting is based."
